I have a DQ77KB inside an Akasa Euler. I want to put a wireless network card in there. The motherboard supports various sorts of PCI Express cards, but the case isn't really designed for them. That said, I think this can work.; it helps that the wireless network card doesn't have to be exposed outside the case at all.

Has anyone done something like this? Or does anyone have ideas as to whether or how I can?

Also, I remember once seeing PCI adapters that changed the direction of PCI cards. Has anyone seen something like this for PCI Express, and does anyone have a link to one?

At some point, I'll take the heatsink (case) off the CPU and then measure lots of things precisely in order to figure this out properly, but I want to plan things a bit before I do that because that will be a bit of a production.

I've used USB network adapters, but they aren't very well supported by Linux. They wind up being fine for SSH with mosh, but they're quite bad for HTTP.

I wound up getting a 7260HMW BN because it didn't say that it requires a Haswell processor. (The one that ktriebol linked says "4th generation Intel Core processors".) It probably requires a Haswell processor anyway, but I can hope.

It fits just fine and gets detected, but it turns out that this card's driver also has issues. Until I fix that, I'm using a TP-LINK TL-WR710N, which I plan on turning into a ROOter.
